"2016 was a transformative year for FORM as we repositioned the company and established a growth-oriented platform that we expect will drive shareholder value into the future," said Andrew D. Perlman, FORM's Chief Executive Officer. "The year concluded with our acquisition of XpresSpa, providing entry into the growing travel, health, and wellness markets.  Our efforts with XpresSpa are focused on improving recruiting and retention of talented technichians and therapists to keep up with consumer demand, increasing operational efficiencies and accelerating the growth of the XpresSpa brand and store footprint."

"We have also taken strategic actions to position our Group Mobile business for continued growth in 2017.  Our February 2017 acquisition of Excalibur Integrated Systems creates a national footprint, and brings additional customers and a higher-margin services component to the business.  These enhancements to Group Mobile's offerings position the company as a more important and valuable partner to its customers."

"Moving forward we intend to focus on our core assets in XpresSpa and Group Mobile as we look to monetize or create strategic alternatives for all non-core assets," Mr. Perlman continued.

2017 Outlook

"Based on our strategic actions, operational results and capital structure, we believe that we have a solid foundation and momentum to achieve growth in 2017," Mr. Perlman continued.  "We intend to grow XpresSpa's revenue to over $50 million through a combination of same-store comparable sales increases and the addition of locations in 2017. We remain comfortable with our previously issued guidance of approximately 10% same-store comparable sales growth in 2017."

Mr. Perlman concluded, "Regarding our other segments, we are giving Group Mobile a revenue target in excess of $20 million in 2017. This will be achieved by adding new products, exploring new distribution verticals, such as military and government, and increasing the sales team's geographic coverage."

"Our intellectual property strategy will continue to progress with the intent of monetizing our existing portfolio of intellectual property using strategies that eliminate risk and maximize return."

Segment Operating Results

XpresSpa
XpresSpa, the Company's largest operating segment, provides air travelers with premium health and wellness services, as well as a branded line of exclusive luxury travel products and accessories at its 53 locations across 22 major airports in the United States, Amsterdam and Dubai.

Following the closing of the acquisition on December 23, 2016, in fiscal year 2016, FORM recognized $0.8 million of XpresSpa revenue for the seven-day period prior to year-end. For the full year 2016, XpresSpa generated $43.8 million of revenue, representing a 13% increase as compared to 2015, and largely driven by an increase in same-store comparable sales in the second half of 2016.

Management estimates segment-level preliminary first quarter revenues of $10.6 - 10.9 million.  Importantly, XpresSpa's business experiences seasonality that is tied to variations in enplanements.  This year the seasonality is exaggerated by the later Easter holiday this year versus last, which the company estimates will shift approximately $0.5 million of revenues from the first quarter to the second quarter.  On an average basis over the past two years, the first quarter typically represents approximately 21% of annual revenues, the second quarter 26%, the third quarter 27%, and the fourth quarter 26%.

XpresSpa recently opened its fifth location at New York's JFK International Airport, and anticipates opening two locations this spring at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport and one this fall at Charlotte's Douglas Airport.

Group Mobile
For the full year 2016, Group Mobile generated $6.7 million of revenue.  Bookings and customer commitments in the fourth quarter were $6.4 million (and $12.1 million for full 2016), an increase of more than 450% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, which is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2017. 

Similar to other technology solutions providers, Group Mobile's business is impacted by seasonality.  The historical seasonal cadence of Group Mobile's sales progression throughout the year is typically as follows: the first quarter typically represents approximately 19% of annual revenue, the second quarter 37%, the third quarter 26%, and the fourth quarter 18%.

FORM anticipates Group Mobile to be profitable for 2017, supported by management's full year 2017 segment forecast calling for revenues to exceed $20 million and a gross margin of at least 15%.  These estimates suggest an increase in annual revenues of approximately 200% and an expansion of gross margins by approximately 300 basis points, to 15%.

FLI Charge
In 2016, FLI Charge launched its consumer product line and generated approximately $0.3 million of revenue. In addition, FLI Charge has expanded its e-commerce presence through online partnerships. FLI Charge continues to expand the availability of its consumer products through online and direct-to-consumer channels. FORM is currently exploring strategic alternatives for FLI Charge to maximize shareholders value, including alternative financing sources.  

Intellectual Property
FORM's Intellectual Property segment generated $11.2 million from licensing during 2016. On December 5, 2016, FORM assigned the majority of its telecom patent portfolio back to Nokia. 

Balance Sheet & Cash Flows

FORM's capital structure remains sound, with current assets of $23.5 million, a cash balance of $17.9 million as of December 31, 2016, and $6.5 million of long-term debt assumed as part of the XpresSpa acquisition. In 2017, FORM plans to reduce its general and administrative expenses and improve its cash flow through extracting synergies from its acquisitions, mainly in corporate functions. FORM also expects to realize improved cash flow due to expected revenue growth and the resultant leverage of its fixed cost base as it incurs capital expenditures in 2017 related to planned store openings, the remodeling of certain existing stores, and strategic technology enhancements. These investments will provide the foundation for an expansion of operating margins as FORM realizes scale.

Full Year Results

For fiscal 2016, FORM reported consolidated revenue of $19.0 million, a decrease of 16% versus the prior year.  The decrease was primarily the result of a $10.6 million year-over-year decrease in revenue from FORM's intellectual property segment due to a one-time payment associated with a license and settlement agreement in December 2015, partially offset by the positive impact of the acquisitions of Group Mobile and FLI Charge in October 2015 and XpresSpa in December 2016.

Total operating expenses for fiscal 2016 were $41.4 million compared to $33.0 million last year due to $11.9 million of impairment charges recorded in the second quarter of 2016, a $5.7 million increase in cost of goods sold as a result of the acquisitions and higher merger integration and acquisition costs, which were $1.4 million in 2016 and $0.2 million in 2015.  This was partially offset by a $12.3 million decrease in legal and patent litigation expenses as part of the intellectual property costs, to $6.3 million from $18.6 million in 2015, and a $2.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation expenses resulting from equity awards becoming fully vested in 2015, as well as lower insurance, accounting and audit fees.

About FORM Holdings Corp.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

XpresSpa uses GAAP and non-GAAP measurements to assess the trends in its business. Items XpresSpa reviews on an ongoing basis are revenues, Comp Store Sales (which it defines as sales from stores opened longer than a year compared to the same period sales of those stores a year ago), store contribution margins, and number of transactions (which is a way to measure traffic in spas). In addition, XpresSpa monitors stores' performance compared to its model store metrics to ensure that it is consistently opening spas that have the same or similar return dynamics as historical stores. XpresSpa believes the trends exhibited by its business are strong and substantiate its continued investment in additional locations and infrastructure.

The measurement of Comp Store Sales on a daily, weekly, monthly and year-to-date basis provides an additional perspective on XpresSpa's total sales growth when considering the influence of new unit contribution. A reconciliation between Comp Store Sales, which is a non-GAAP measure commonly used in the retail industry, and total revenue, based on XpresSpa's full year 2015 and 2016 results (FORM's financial statements reflect only XpresSpa's total revenue for the final seven days of 2016, the period from when the merger between FORM and XpresSpa closed and the end of 2016) is presented below:

Group Mobile uses bookings and customer commitments as a non-GAAP measure to assess the health of the business. They represent orders placed and orders committed from the customers, which will be fulfilled in the future. Group Mobile expects to recognize bookings and commitments from customers as revenues throughout 2017.
